Yeah...no.theultimateend said:You should probably think about the quality of games by what they are doing and the environment they are doing it in. Similar to how Mario 64 is epic to levels that are hard to verbalize compared to what else was going on in its time. Or banjo and Kazooie, or Goldeneye.Tanis said:BREAKING NEWS:Okay, overrated, JRPG gets re-release of it's poorly done (without the fan made mod & patch) PC port. More as this story develops.
Etc. Etc.
Yes, they aren't literally the second coming of christ in all eras but for their time they earned their praise by doing things in ways that were considered insane. The kind of gambles you almost never see by any major developers anymore.
So not overrated, just well remembered for doing great things in their field.
Plus, just because something is popular and you don't like it doesn't mean it was overrated. That's like the term "Viral" I don't think it has any genuine meaning, or perhaps ironic, since that's frequently abused.
Maybe I've got some personal bias because I was usually half, if not a full, gen behind until the PS2 Era but FF7 was lacking then.
Playing games like FF2(4), FF3(6), CT and THEN playing FF7 felt like a total letdown.
Never mind that, well, here's a vid for you - the guy who made it sounds like a prick but his point is pretty good.
Don't get me wrong, FF7 is an okay JRPG, but it's not near the level of Mario 64 in terms of 'revolutionary' or whatever.
